Update: 1954: Alcatraz is now available on Steam as well, at the same limited time $2 discount as GOG.com.

Two new adventure games co-developed by Gene Mocsy, the co-writer of Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island, have been released today!

The first release is 1954: Alcatraz, the first game by Gene
Mocsy's studio Irresponsible Games (and co-developed by German adventure
game developer Daedalic). The game has two lead characters, a man who
must escape Alcatraz prison in 1954, and his wife, who is trying to
avoid gangsters who are after the money that her husband stole. The
game has multiple solutions to puzzles, which will affect the characters
in different ways. 1954: Alcatraz is out now on GOG.com (currently discounted at $2 off it's usual $19.99 price tag), and will also be released in a few hours on Steam.

The game will have two player characters: a man who attempts to escape from Alcatraz prison, and his wife who is trying to avoid gangsters who are seeking the money that her husband stole from an armored truck. The puzzles will have multiple solutions, which will lead to different consequences for the characters. If this sounds interesting to you, check out this interview from December that GamingLives conducted with Gene Mocsy to find out more about this intriguing sounding adventure game.

The official Perils of Man Facebook page
has been updated with news that The Perils of Man, the upcoming iOS
adventure game developed by IF Games with a game design by Autumn Moon's
Bill Tiller and Gene Mocsy, will be getting a demo release on the 11th
